I don't have a college degree. I started working at 19 on a tiny newspaper. I've covered everything from weddings to crime to criminal weddings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.
After I left high school and got my GED, I studied broadcast journalism for a year at a community college.
My degree was in education, but the idea of being a teacher lost out to being a reporter. I worked at a newspaper for a while, then went to New York and worked in PR at RCA and NBC, and at 'The United States Steel Hour,' a drama series.
I'm just a public-schoolboy. I've got a degree. I'm from a middle-class family in Devon. I've got no story.
I was an English major in college with minors in Fine Arts and Humanities.
When I was in college, there were a couple years there where I was just not sure what to do, and it was actually my mom who suggested I take some journalism classes.
I come from a modest background. I put myself through college and law school and a postdoctorate program in tax law.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
I graduated with an English degree and worked for awhile in academic publishing.
I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.
